Automatic bursary for OSAP students

Automatic bursaries are issued to eligible students as part of Ontario's Student Access Guarantee (SAG). SAG ensures that post-secondary students with financial need have “enough financial aid to cover (their) assessed needs for expenses directly related to (their) program, including books, tuition and mandatory fees, that are not fully met by OSAP.”

Eligibility requirements

To be considered for an automatic bursary:

You must be a full-time, undergraduate student (excluding Pharmacy and Optometry)

You are enrolled in a full-time course load for the current term (co-op work terms are not eligible)

Your fees are arranged or paid for the current term

Your enrolment is confirmed with OSAP before the 100% refund period ends

Receiving the bursary

The bursary is applied to your Quest account approximately 4 weeks after the term starts.

If you have any outstanding fees, the funds will be used to pay those fees first

If your fees are paid in full, a cheque will be mailed to your address on Quest

The bursary amount may be adjusted at any time if changes are made to your OSAP application such as course load or income
